My name is Matthew... Grew up in Visalia, California during the Sixties and was cruising Mooney Boulevard in a '66 GTO before anybody ever heard of OPEC, until I got an exhibition of speed ticket racing my buddy in his '67... which led to my first Buick: a 1964 Wildcat door slammer. That car took me everywhere and never let me down. I've been into Buicks ever since... owning a '65 'Cat, a '67 California GS, and my current 1970 Skylark. I bought my current car on Labor Day weekend in 2000 with 60,**x miles on the clock, and drove her home to Morro Bay from Salem Oregon in one day. Now she's got 76,**x miles and my son (now going on fifteen) and I are talking about adding a couple of goodies to make her run a little quicker. Other than the "painted in a barn" coat of blue the car is 100% bone stock from the day. We'd love to build a nailhead powered rod, with the big finned drums from an early Sixties Buick out front... but we're looking for the right car to do that with. Nice to be here a****st like-minded gearheads!
